Abstract
A method and bobbin holder for manufacturing a fishing fly includes a check member for elastically and frictionally engaging the line to provide tension in the line and prevent slackening or loosening of the line when the line is drawn from the bobbin or cut. The bobbin holder is formed from a v-shaped holder having a guide rod extending from the apex of the v-shape and the check member is located between the bobbin and the guide rod. The frictional engagement of the line is a slit formed in an elastic material forming the check member. The slit can be formed by a diametrical cut in a tubular member or be the interface between two layers of the material. A fastener supports the check member between the tube and the bobbin and may also provide a compression to the layers.
Claims17
A bobbin holder comprising:
- a guide tube extending from an elastic holder;
- means for supporting a bobbin in the holder;
- a check member between the tube and the means for supporting the bobbin, the check member comprising an elastic material member having formed therein a slit for elastically frictionally engaging a line drawn out from the bobbin.
A bobbin holder comprising:
- sides forming a v-shaped holder;
- a guide tube extending from an apex formed by the v-shape;
- hemispherical means formed on the sides for supporting a bobbin;
- a check member between the tube and the means for supporting the bobbin, the check member comprising a member formed from an elastic material and having a slit formed therein for elastically frictionally engaging a line drawn out from the bobbin.
A method for securing a line drawn from a bobbin disposed in a bobbin holder comprising:
- providing a guide tube extending from the holder;
- providing a check member between the tube and the bobbin, the check member having formed therein a slit within the member;
- drawing the line from the bobbin;
- passing the line into and through the slit, the check member being a elastic member which frictionally engages the line;
- and
- passing the line through the guide tube.
A bobbin holder comprising:
- a guide tube extending from an elastic holder;
- means for supporting a bobbin in the holder;
- a check member between the tube and the means for supporting the bobbin, the check member comprises a plurality of layers of elastic material between which a line drawn out from the bobbin is elastically frictionally engaged.
A method for securing a line drawn from a bobbin disposed in a bobbin holder comprising:
- providing a guide tube extending from the holder
- providing a check member between the tube and the bobbin, the check member comprising a plurality of layers of an elastic material forming an interface;
- drawing the line from the bobbin;
- passing the line through the interface, the check member being a elastic member which frictionally engages the line at the interface;
- and
- passing the line through the guide tube.
